[laughter]>> i suspect our audience had related questions. >> a very good question. as i said earlier, when the team is asking me about -- dean was asking me about the risks of some of our policies, i was pointing out that inflation is very low. below two percent target. unemployment is above where it should he. there seems to be a strong presumption that we should be aggressive in monetary policy. that does make the case for being aggressive, which we are trying to do. the additional point that i made was that the short-term interest rate is close to zero, and we are now in the world of nonstandard monetary policy. asset purchases and communications and so on. as we were discussing earlier, we h

in part, i think that the democratic defense is too close. it has been wrapped around the axle, the polarization -- in this whole situation, bullies win. chavez is nothing more than the borracho in the cantina. he calls people out and insult people and multilateral institutions. we all fear would happen, but i don't think the multilateral community should call what happened a coup. no one dared raise any questions about the levels of polarization and what this meant for respect for the letter or the spirit of the constitution on what this meant for the potential for conflict. worse, this is a government that is very good at gaining the system. it is always in shades of gray. i don't mean the cheesy novel. [laughter] but consistently naming the supreme court justices in conflict. the constitution requires an election within 30 days. if they were wise, they could hold it in five, still within the letter of the constitution. what is sad, what happened in the decision of the supreme court is that there were over 4 million people whose voices were

so personal defense is important to me. congressman thompson, your committee has waded into deep water here. your actions and policies could save lives or they could have some serious unintended consequences. it is obvious to me there are those who oppose the second amendment and i'm not implying that to you. but there are those who do that and they use political subterfuge to slowly undo this fundamental right. by means of agencies, bureaucracies, and obscure regulation that neuter this right without having to answer to the american people. california, for example -- and i realize this is a federal thing we're talking about here. but california has created a twisted maze of firearm regulations, leaving the honest citizen who uses or carries a firearm responsibly, including for the purpose of legitimate personal safety and defense, in constant jeopardy of being criminalized. our legislature's response, there is now a proposal to double down on failure and fingerprint people who buy ammunition. congressman thompson, i hope w
